This Week in Battle Rap

Battle Rappers make music 2?

This week in battle rap has been an interesting one. Battlers released some music this week that stood out and impressed the masses. The Talent showed all across the board and there was some surprise announcements that had the culture buzzing this week.

URL had everybody going crazy over their new battle announcement for Smack Vol. 2, Rum Nitty going up against John John the Don. This match right here is going to be bananas. Make sure you order that PPV. URL also released a west coast card with a major one off. Th3 Saga is set to battle Emerson Kennedy at this event on March 3^rd. They also came out with two great battles, Fettucine 20 vs Bangz and Raybop vs B- Trillz.

C Dot and Dre Dennis Teamed up to form a new League coming out of NJ called Gates of the Garden. They released two battles that should bring some big attention to the channel. Dot vs Gunna and Chef Trez vs Young Smurf. Both of these battles were crazy and I hope to see more from these fellas league. Salute.

Do or Die Battle league has a dope podcast that they do on they channel called Battle Rap Trap Podcast and they had Cave Gang’s own Ave on the show to talk about his stealing bars allegations, his classic battles and his new music coming out. It was a very good Interview. Speaking of Cave Gang music another member has been making waves with his music as well, Ryda released a video for his smooth song “Long Live the Pimpin”. Coming off his phenomenal performance last month at Survivor Series in DMV.

T-Top dropped a video for his banger “Gymnastics” this week but the song that has everybody talking came from Jersey’s own Jai 400 Block with a disstrack that pretty much went in on everybody from the goonies, NWX and Cave Gang. He sent shots at everyone but especially at Jimz as he revisited the RBE situation with Goodz. It was crazy. I think this will make people respond or even want to battle Jai. We will see. Check out all these videos on Battle Box Group on FB and down below.

This Week in Battle Rap

Where is the Love?

This week in battle rap has been interesting on this Valentine’s week. A lot of Love and hate being thrown especially at one of the upcoming stars, Loso. The Bullpen All-star has been the talk of the culture as everybody debates whether Loso should take a pg on URL. Loso has been on a great streak lately with wins over Showoff, J murda and a debatable vs B dot. Loso has been saying that he might not need to “Prove Himself” on URL but a lot of URL’s best came from the Proving Grounds on URL and it is seen as protocol to take at least one Pg battle. John John Da Don, PG alumnus and Bullpen Owner, talks about this situation in a blog he released this week. Another Blog that was interesting was a 15mofe interview with Hollow the Don, who talked about His rematch battle with Arsonal on Smack vol 2 on March 31^st. He talked about their first match on fight klub and their conflict over time limits. It was a real insightful interview and I can’t wait for their battle on March 31^st.

On Instagram This week some of battle rap’s best made they presence felt in some major ways. DNA paid homage to Will Smith this week with two freestyles that were fire. The one that got everybody talking was his “Step Dad” freestyle inspired by Will Smith hit “Just the two of us”. It was about his bond with his step son and it touched a lot of people emotional cord. Jaz the rapper showed out on a Young Buck classic for her “Shorty wanna ride” freestyle and killed it on the J-kwon “Hood Hop” freestyle.

Battles that were released this week came from all over the place, Battle rap defiantly showed love. RBE released Daddy Mason vs Bear from lhs4 card. Bullpen dropped a battle from two of the most viewed battlers on their platform, Bonus vs Cannon the Beast. KOTD dropped two battles this week, Flow Columbo vs Peppe and Sun Tsu vs Steve Staples. Body Bag Battle League released a fire battle from their Death is Urned Card, Greywolf vs Ortiz Davinci. Iron Mouth Battle League Bo the Great vs Phokused battlecame out a couple days ago. And Qleen Paper vs Pretty Hippie dropped on Therap BattleLeague. SYIGU Battle League released an anticipated match between Mal Casanova vs Starr White.

The Battle of the week came from URL Traffic 3, JC vs T Top . The two Mc’s came with intense rounds thru this whole battle. But what made news was T Top having a Kennecka Jenkins Bar in his first round. T Top after the battle dropped, issued an apology to her family and to the fans and it took a man to say he was wrong. So T top salute to you. URL also came out with an all-star cypher featuring Charlie Clips and Mickey Factz.

Check out all these battles and blogs on Battlebox group on FB. Salute and have a great Valentine’s and President’s Day.
